Rohrbach does not record the occurrence of this species so far west as 
Spain; and, on the other hand, it is not found so far south as Syria, as 
mentioned in vol. i. of DC. Prodromus. In this latter case “Syriaca” is 
an obvious error for “ Piriac,” a locality on the west coast of France. The 
original reference for Smith’s name is seldom giver correctly. It is 
generally cited as vol. ii. p. 469, though there is no necessity to specify the 
volume. Rohrbach cites vol. ii, p. 298, but this volume and page refers to 
Smith’s ‘ English Flora.’
